Totally Gluten Free Bakery was established in October of 2006. While baking in several different bakeries, Wendy realised there was a growing need for an exclusive gluten free bakery.
Opening up the first store on Worcester street was the begining of Wendy’s dream and quickly expanded by taking over 3 other shops in the same block to create the original plant. Lori came on board in late 2010 and they continued the dream by taking over the Gingerbread Man on Blenheim Road
On 22nd February 2011 at 12.51pm a 6.3 magnitute earthquake hit Christchurch, Worcester Street was completly damaged but thankfully no-one was hurt.
Luckily Wendy and Lori had purchased the Blenhiem Road plant to work out of, so, they were able to merge both the original team with the new, and continue to service their loyal customer base through a difficult time.
It was a hard time in Christchurch post earthquakes but the business managed to grow, and in 2017 it was time for a change. Wendy and Lori found the perfect spot to achieve this at their current location on Colombo Street. Better access for the customers, a bigger space to create, and, a location that had a more inclusive community feel.
